Women
The marathon, which concluded on Saturday night, was created in 1980 by the weekly college-radio newsletter once called College Music Journal and now known as CMJ New Music Report. It started as a pre-Web way to share information, practical knowledge and contacts among the many do-it-yourself bands discovered and nurtured by noncommercial college radio, groups that at the time were just beginning to create lines of communication between local scenes. [NY Times]Cake Shop and Pianos are a set of conveniently located neighboring LES venues that each host bands almost non-stop during CMJ week. Throw in the Livng Room, and Ludlow between Stanton and Rivington can be a very efficient area to spend time during the days of the festival. Kyle spent Tuesday at the Pop Tarts party at Cake Shop before heading to Music Hall for the official BV showcase. Among the many bands on the Cake Shop bill were Women who went on to play many more shows throughout the week including the BV one at Knitting Factory on Saturday afternoon/evening.

women are so good. 'black rice' for song of the year.
GET OUT OF PRINCETON. I love how every LA band thinks 'tropical' is a legitimate way to describe your band genre now. especially when they sound like an even more mediocre love child of bishop allen and vampire weekend.

What's wrong with Princeton? I thought they were great at Cake Shop (then saw them again at Club Love... totally different thing, and it was amazing) Who gives a shit what a band describes themselves as... they've got great songs.
The Antlers were also pretty awesome at Cake Shop.
thanks for the photos!
